Are you implying MGS4? That got a Gamespot and IGN 10 as well. Just checking.
And please don't base whether or not to buy LBP on Edge. Has Edge ever actually liked a game? They gave BioShock a 7, MGS4 an 8, and seem to love the number 8 so much that they stick it on after playing a game for 5 minutes. I've noticed GameSpot doing that a bit of late- IGN seems to be the most reliable reviewer left.
I'm going to guess around 9.5 from Gamespot and IGN. Unlikely to be a 10 because both have given out 2 10's this year. If they make it 3, people will accuse them of lowering their standards. Gamespot has actually raised its standards, and IGn standards have always been low (which is a good thing because they have the same standards as most gamers)
Irrespective of the score LBP gets, though, I'll get BioShock first. It actually got a 10 from EuroGamer. They are like Edge in hating almost every game ever made. But they occasionally give out higher scores. They are also blatant 360 fanboys (in my opinion- who gives Halo 3 a 10 then gives MGS4 an 8?)
It also has a 96 on metacritic. And while ports are almost never as good as the original, this could break that pattern. Please break the pattern...
Which is why I check metacritic and IGN as well. Tools of Destruction (I dstill don't see the suggestiveness in that) was back in GameSpot's Microsoft fanboy days (which are thankfully over). Uncharted was in there too.
EDIT: Knowing Edge, they'll give it a 7/10 and say "I didn't like one of the pixels" or "sackboy looks gay" or some other pathetic argument to justify reviewing a game without playing it.
